Baby boom go boomBaby boom go bumpBaby boom goes straight to the edgeAnd someone hollers "jump"You gotta be dead to be bigger than lifeBut everyone's afraid to flyEveryone want to be on a postage stampBut nobody wants to die

Better bow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossThen read the letters that the children writeTo the standard white Santa Claus

They want flash - somethin' awesomeSomethin' with a little kickSomethin' semi-automaticJust might do the trickThey want weapons to arm themselvesAgainst every childhood fearThey want rockets to fly up to heavenAnd get the hell out of here

See the devils and the angelsSee how shamelessly they danceDefyin' the laws of gravityOn the shoulders of romanceThe sensations - the temptationsOur forefathers have succumbed toAnd the bittersweet fragranceOur noses have been numbed to

Bow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossThen read the letters that the children writeTo the standard white Santa Claus

How grim our lives would beIf not for children's laughterLike scary old fairy talesWith no happily-ever-afterTalkin' on telephones across time zonesPayin' the futility billPrayin' for rain, punchin' clocksChanging the world like I change my socks

Bow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossBow down to the standard white Jesus on the crossThen read the letters that the children writeTo the standard white Santa Claus
